Introduction

Use a modal for dialog boxes, confirmation messages, or other content that can be called up. In order for the modal to work you have to add the Modal ID to the link of the trigger. To add a close button, just add the class .modal-close to your button.

Modals HTML Structure

  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <a class="waves-effect waves-light btn" href="#modal1">Modal</a>

  <!-- Modal Structure -->
  <div id="modal1" class="modal">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <h4>Modal Header</h4>
      <p>A bunch of text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#!" class=" modal-action modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat">Agree</a>
    </div>
  </div>
          

Modals with Fixed Footer

If you have content that is very long and you want the action buttons to be visible all the time, you can add the modal-fixed-footer class to the modal.

  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <a class="modal-trigger waves-effect waves-light btn" href="#modal1">Modal</a>

  <!-- Modal Structure -->
  <div id="modal1" class="modal modal-fixed-footer">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <h4>Modal Header</h4>
      <p>A bunch of text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#!" class="modal-action modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat ">Agree</a>
    </div>
  </div>
          

Bottom Sheet Modals

Bottom Sheet Modals are good for displaying actions to the user on the bottom of a screen. They still act the same as regular modals.

  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <a class="waves-effect waves-light btn" href="#modal1">Modal</a>

  <!-- Modal Structure -->
  <div id="modal1" class="modal bottom-sheet">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <h4>Modal Header</h4>
      <p>A bunch of text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#!" class=" modal-action modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat">Agree</a>
    </div>
  </div>
          

Modals with Button trigger

If you prefer to use a button to open a modal specify the Modal ID in data-target rather than the href attribute.

  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <button data-target="modal1" class="btn">Modal</button>
          

jQuery Plugin Initialization

To open a modal using a trigger:

  $(document).ready(function(){
    // the "href" attribute of .modal-trigger must specify the modal ID that wants to be triggered
    $('.modal').modal();
  });
          

You can also open modals programatically, the below code will make your modal open on document ready:

  $('#modal1').modal('open');
          

You can also close them programatically:

  $('#modal1').modal('close');
        

Options

You can customize the behavior of each modal using these options. For example, you can call a custom function to run when a modal is dismissed. To do this, just place your function in the intialization code as shown below.

  $('.modal').modal({
      dismissible: true, // Modal can be dismissed by clicking outside of the modal
      opacity: .5, // Opacity of modal background
      inDuration: 300, // Transition in duration
      outDuration: 200, // Transition out duration
      startingTop: '4%', // Starting top style attribute
      endingTop: '10%', // Ending top style attribute
      ready: function(modal, trigger) { // Callback for Modal open. Modal and trigger parameters available.
        alert("Ready");
        console.log(modal, trigger);
      },
      complete: function() { alert('Closed'); } // Callback for Modal close
    }
  );
